Spectrum and spectral expansion for the non-selfadjoint discrete Dirac operators (Q4935759)

Let \(L\) denote the non-self-adjoint discrete Dirac operator generator in \(\ell_2(\mathbb{N},\mathbb{C}^2)\) by \[ \begin{aligned} y^{(2)}_{n+1}- y^{(2)}_n+ p_n y^{(1)}_n & = \lambda y^{(1)}_n,\\ - y^{(1)}_n+ y^{(1)}_{n-1}+ q_n y^{(2)}_n & = \lambda y^{(2)}_n,\quad n= 1,2,\dots\end{aligned} \] and \[ y^{(1)}_0= 0, \] where the \(p_n\), \(q_n\in\mathbb{C}\), \(n= 1,2,\dots\)\ . It is proved that if, for some \(\varepsilon> 0\), \[ \sup_{1\leq n<\infty} (|p_n|+|q_n|)\exp(\varepsilon \sqrt n)< \infty.\tag{1} \] \(L\) has a finite number of eigenvalues and spectral singularities (poles of the resolvent kernel which are not eigenvalues), each of finite multiplicity, and continuous spectrum \([-2,2]\). Under the condition (1) an integral representation is obtained for the Weyl (or, more accurately, the Hellinger-Nevanlinna) function, and this yields an expansion theorem in terms of the principal vectors of \(L\).
